You thought my post that unfortunately derailed the thread regarding TC into a PIOP battle was a cheap shot? It wasn’t intended as a cheap shot.

shoot! 10.7.5 is required! I can’t update until the mdc’s are updated (tomorrow night).

i tried updating all even though it is still listed like that for me as well… It just re-installed 10.0.5.

yeah that would be a good use of the HUD.

Uh no Bill, that’s not at all what I’m saying. It does have persistence when you make it a favorite or tag it. And that is how I’m telling my editors to work around the problem.
What I’m pointing out is that if you set an in and an out on a clip in the event library, and don’t make it a favorite, and then you navigate away to something else (the timeline for example to check something – like timecode), when you navigate back to your clip, your in and out is gone and you have to start over. In 7, you can set an in and an out in the viewer of a clip from the browser, you can do whatever to another clip and come back to your original one in the browser, open it to the viewer, and the ins and outs are still there. It’s kind of convenient for editing.

You can change the timecode display from drop to non-drop for a clip in the inspector, under the settings view. You can also change other important clip attributes there like scan and alpha handling.
It would be nice to see a handle there for changing time code value (from first frame or current frame) or adding an additional tc track. Currently, we are using QT Edit from digital rebellion to do this instead of going back into 7.
It would be nice to have source time code overlays in the viewer like we had with 7. Maybe someone can do that with a plugin. I recall that you can do this on the timeline now with the playhead, but I don’t remember exactly how at the moment.
Another important tc feature that I miss from 7 and would like to see put back is rp188 insertion into out bound sdi. (Timecode going out the sdi card so it can be viewed on a pani display or the like as a burn in overlay.)
This was probably easier to accomplish with 7 because it was using QT and the cards just interfaced with QT to read the tc and then inserted it into the sdi signal. Now the card would have to be provided this info from the application or core av or wherever video comes from now.
From a production standpoint, TC is really important obviously. I would love for the tc display to be resizable/detachable/floating again.
Also, I see a number of editors who have a disconnect from the event library browser while skimming/playing/setting i/o, to the time code display, and then to the viewer. When you are setting ins and outs, on a source, your eyes are split to 3 screen areas, where you used to just have one area: the viewer. So I’d love for the second viewer to be back and some kind of better method for setting ins and outs to be included in a future release. I’m not saying make it just like 7, because the playhead slider wasn’t the best navigation tool on a long clip either. But it’s pretty clear the problem is deciding where you are supposed to look – the thumbnails where you are setting your i/o markers, the viewer (where you should be looking at the video, or the tc window – where you may need to focus for entry.
I’m dying to see if they’ve corrected this stuff in the next version. It seems to be all fixable maybe except the sdi tc which needs aja and bmd. When you put some of the above tc display issues together with the inability to retain an in and out selection in the event library when you click off to another area, you can get frustrated pretty quickly.

Yes your licensing agreement prevents you from doing so.

Whenever it is, it can’t come soon enough. The publicly announced and discussed features will be a big help to us.

John,
I’ve been asking for a feature to be added to several capture apps (justin, vtr xchange, media express etc) that would allow for a sidecart xml to be created with the captured clip which would contain role information. Just:in for example has different capture presets. Imagine a scenario where you establish presets for your source materials to add video and audio role metadata to a sidecar xml on capture. Also, a MAM mechanism to do this on files would be great.

Isn’t there also a benefit with mountain lion with avc intra? there is now native support for the codec as of mountain lion. So what Gary said plus native avc intra in X without “optimizing”.
